While most of Middle School was off to C.I.M.I., the few students who stayed behind had some fun in the Computer Lab creating a web site that includes a collaborative drawing done by all of the students drawing at the same time, Vokis welcoming you to each page and a Wordle of the things each student loves or is passionate about.
7th Grade watched a video about the 24/7 nature of digital media in our lives. The class then created a concept map about digital media in their lives and then each student created their own Simile Poster to illustrate their digital media lives.
Digital Media Concept Map
Students then filled out a survey of the time that they spend using digital media each week and watched a video on the upside and downside of having a digital life. One point in this video was that teens needed to be responsible for their digital lives. Students discussed the various responsibilities that they have in their digital lives and created a comic strip or animation illustrating a digital citizenship problem.
7th Grade then discussed whether various things were cyber-bullying or not and then they created a short audio or video PSA about Cyberbullying. For their final Digital Citizenship lessons, 7th Grade watched a video about digital footprints and then researched their teacher online to see how much information they could find. After a discussion about what was found, each student created their "digital footprint" that they hope to see ten years into the future.
